Join us LIVE at our next community call on on Tuesday, February 3rd at 8pm CST (9pmEST/ 7pm MST/ 6pm PST). Marketing expert and Flying Cart founder Rishi will be talking about Google Adwords, how to start your first ad campaign, and we will be giving you some strategies on how to use Google Ads to boost your sales. We will also talk about some of the most recent and upcoming features of Flying Cart. You can participate in the discussion and ask questions, or just sit in and listen. The conference call is completely free and will last about 30 minutes.

Please RSVP by putting your comment on this post or by emailing us. On the day of the event, we will send you the phone number and access code you will need to participate.

We see things that work and we want to share them with you to help you grow your business.

That is why we are holding our very first community call. All you need to do is leave your store name in the comments and I will email you the phone number to call and pass code. Feel free to leave any discussion topics you would like me to address on the call as well.

Rishi and I went to Maker Faire in Austin last weekend and were blown away by all the cool stuff we saw. It’s a two-day paradise of do-it-yourself projects including art, crafts, engineering, robotics, science, music, and more. Anyone who likes to make stuff and look at stuff other people have made would enjoy this. We talked with a lot of crafters about running their own businesses and selling online. The majority of them already have products on Etsy.com and many have their own website as well. Many were interested in learning about other ways to expand their online sales, such as creating their own brand on their own store site with Flying Cart. Here are some photos and a video of our day.
